I ended up getting the dipstick tube from my gm dealer, although at the time he couldnt' find a dipstick in stock. I ended up modifying one from a 4l60, cut and welded to the right level. I will replace it this summer though, its a little ghetto. My dealer doesn't stock much, but he will usually give out the part #'s (he doesn't care much about customer retention lol) and I'll buy the stuff from gmpartsdirect or similar.
great info !! Thanks for letting me know . I will look for the proper part number and make the order
